I have moved my old firefox profile to a new computer (from pc to mac) and just migrated the profile.

I've been using the master password option for my profile on pc for years, but on the profile move to mac, when I launch firefox, everything seems to be working fine, except for passwords. I noticed by default master password was not enabled. I attempted to turn that on (it asked to create a new password and said an existing one was not set), but when I attempted to create it, it came up with an error saying master password can not be reset.

it shows no saved logins or passwords currently on the new mac profile

I've moved the profile from PC to PC in the past and didn't have this issue. I'm currently lost as to how to fix this.

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ is the default folder path . . .You can change the folder where Firefox will be installed either by . . .
However, I never get as far as that setup wizard.

I can click the .exe file in Windows explorer. I get a screen asking, “Do you want to allow this app to make changes . . .”
I click yes.
I get a message from the Installer, “You don’t have sufficient disk space to install.”

I assume it is responding to the lack of space on the C drive, and it is not even giving me a chance to specify the D drive.

What can I do (in advance of figuring out how to clear space on my C drive)?

I let FireFox update to 68.0.2, I think the previous version was 66.0.2. Based on upgrade-jasonlz4, it was installed 2019 0529. A screen displayed some information that I did not save and cannot find again. It indicated that my previous profile information was inaccessible but not gone, it could be used by running a older version of FF and that now the profile info was stored on some Mozilla server and that I needed to create a account. This has been very disruptive. The only account I created was to be able to write this and the new FF seems to have created it’s profile in Firefox\Profiles. I have looked at the release notes for versions 66.0 thru 68.0.2 and don’t see anything about a new profile format or compatibility issues. I have Windows Explorer equivalent access to my restore points and see firefox.exe dated 6/10/2019 which differs from the upgrade file date but I could restore the system to that point.

So is it true that there is a profile compatibility issue and I need to use the old firefox to use the old profile? If so, why is it not mentioned in the release notes and if not why did the new FF create a new profile?
I found a index of previous versions to DL (https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/) If I get a suitable version and use custom installation, will I be able to make it use my old profile?

AARRGGHH!! I hate it when I hit SUBMIT (or POST QUESTION) and the whole tab screen blanks. Trying again, and this time saving the entered text first.

HDD "crashed and burned". Backup files on another drive include profile with saved (json) bookmarks.

I've read so many of the how to backup/restore/export/import bookmarks articles that I have a sore head, but none seem to address the current scenario.

The pooter in question is not being resurrected. I have another Win/FF with its own horde of bookmarks and I want to amalgamate the saved ones from the old machine onto that installation. It seems that is only possible with the backup bookmarks in html format, but to get then into that format on another FF installation seems destined to overwrite the current lot. Catch22 anyone?

I’m trying to run a program that requires silverlight and newer versions of Firefox don’t allow plug ins from silverlight. I have found a list of older versions of Firefox on Mozilla’s website but Once I click on a specific version several downloadable links pop up. Do I need to only download one link or several? Once I download the link do I have to move it to my applications or somewhere else to gain access to it?

As far as I can tell, synchronizing my Multi-Account Containers data is a manual process. I would like an automated way to keep my home and work computers synchronized with the same settings using my Firefox Account. (I haven't set it up at home yet, but when I do, it will be hard to keep them in sync.) I also worry that if I'm only using one computer and it dies, I'll lose all the custom settings I've created for Multi-Account Containers.

We spend so much effort putting specific websites in specific containers, that it is a pity to lose that info, or to have to manually synchronize it to multiple computers.

I was having an issue with firefox so I did an uninstall and then reinstalled. Prior to removing firefox from my pc I did a backup and had firefox place "Old Firefox Data" folder on my desktop with my profile info in there. It contains the 8 digit alpha-numeric.default folder which has all my saved passwords, bookmarks ect.

I have gone directly to the new profile data folder and pasted in my old data, restarted firefox and nothing. The bookmarks don' show up nor the history or passwords.

Also I have renamed the .default folder with the current folder name of my current profile and then replaced the folder. Still nothing, I can see all the stuff in the folder but when I open firefox none of my bookmarks are in there as well as no history / no saved pw.

I can't see why this is such a big issue as it seems people do this all the time, however for me its simply not working.

I found suggestions to copy the entire old profile folder from windows.old in the roaming folder. Followed those instructions - pasted into the new users app data - but does not work. Does the data in the local folder need to be copied as well? Thanks for any suggestions.

For some specific reason I uninstalled Chrome - probably something to do with security, I guess but then I seemed to find the answer and it had nothing to do with Chrome. I've therefore tried to re-install it but failed.
I can download it and save it but when I try to run and load it nothing happens.
Any answers will be appreciated.
